We could have made this a competition.
But we decided not to.

Because that’s not what this project, or audio storytelling, is really about.

This December calendar has been about confidence.
About feeling steadier in your hands as you shape a story with sound.
And when it comes down to it, nothing teaches storytelling like doing it.

So today, we’re handing the mic over to you.

🎁 As a final gift, we’re releasing the full session files from our December 25 story, “The Sound of Christmas”.

Inside you’ll find interviews, ambience, narration, scratch music.
Not a finished answer, but a box of ingredients.
Everything you need to make your own version of the story.

Or…
Leave ours behind and tell a different one.

Tell us how your holidays sound.

What makes them joyful, nostalgic, chaotic, quiet, hilarious, or meaningful.

📦 Use anything from the session, grab extra sounds from the Soundly Library inside Hindenburg, or pull from your own archive.

There are no rules.

There is no winner.

Just storytellers at play.
Listening, trying, learning by doing.
Finding small connections through creativity.

Because stories shouldn’t be judged.

They should be shared.

They help us understand each other and, in the best cases, bring us a little closer.

So, will you play along?

💌 Send us your “Sound of Christmas” story.

Everyone who shares something before midnight Sunday 11 January 2026 with nick@hindenburg.com will receive a small Hindenburg gift.

And we’ll feature some of your work on our website.

One small note: please only use audio and music you have the rights to, whether it’s from the session, Soundly, or your own recordings.

Let’s end the year by telling stories, not to compete, but to connect.
